Case Study
Building a Sales Engine From the Ground Up
Referrals had fueled vitaltech solutions for years, but they weren’t enough to support the leading IT provider’s next stage of growth. To create a reliable pipeline of qualified sales opportunities, vitaltech needed a strong outbound strategy. That meant moving from a reactive sales model to a proactive one – and building a clear, structured process to support it.

From Limited Referrals to Consistent Cold Outreach
A Strategic Approach to Sustainable Sales
No Formal Sales Structure or Process
vitaltech’s goal was to generate 8-10 qualified first-time appointments per month. But with most new business coming through existing relationships, it didn’t have a structured approach to guide, scale, or track outbound sales efforts.
Establish a Clear, Scalable Sales Foundation
Working together, we developed a detailed sales playbook tailored to its market – defining messaging, ideal customer profiles, qualification criteria for first-time appointments, and the workflows a business development representative (BDR) would follow each day.
To support visibility and performance management, we also implemented a CRM system for monitoring activity, pipeline creation, and outcomes in real time. With a solid foundation in place, new BDRs could ramp quickly, and vitaltech had a system it could refine and scale over time.
The Cost and Complexity of Building an Internal Team
Building and managing an internal sales function requires time, resources, and risk. From sourcing and onboarding to training, coaching, and daily performance oversight, the vitaltech team didn’t have the bandwidth or expertise to take on those responsibilities.
Full Process, Talent, and Performance Management
vitaltech turned to our outsourced sales talent services to quickly find and ramp the right people. We recruited candidates, evaluated their fit, and equipped them with the skills, company background, and outbound fundamentals needed to start booking calls quickly.
We also employed the BDRs on our payroll and managed their performance, from goals and activity to coaching and improvement. This allowed vitaltech to secure sales talent without the time, cost, or uncertainty of building an internal team on its own.
Navigating Changes on a Moment’s Notice
As the business evolved, vitaltech needed support it could count on. Rep transitions or urgent shifts risked slowing momentum, making it essential to have a partner that could step in quickly and keep outbound activity on track.
Responsive Support and Reliable Action
We remained a steady partner through every change in staffing and strategy. When one BDR left unexpectedly, our team acted immediately to source new talent, train them quickly, and get them booking appointments within two months.
Throughout the partnership, vitaltech had direct access to leaders who remained responsive, hands-on, and proactive.
Powering Growth Through People, Process, and Performance
By trusting Brickwork to manage the heavy lifting of sales development, vitaltech turned a complex challenge into a competitive advantage.
“What truly distinguishes [Brickwork] is the strength of the relationship I’ve built with their team. They take the time to understand my business and demonstrate a genuine commitment to its growth. On multiple occasions, we’ve faced challenges, and they have always answered my calls and worked through solutions with me.”
